About Me

IT STARTED AS A THREAT
A friend and co-conspirator said that if I didn't make a myspace profile he would make one for me. And that it would not be flattering. This is not a man to cross.
So here it is: a myspace page, complete with some photos and completely accurate personal information and everything. And when I think about the prospect of friends, enemies and total strangers coming across it, I get giddy as an out-of-work C-list celebrity who just secured a month-long gig in the top left corner on Hollywood Squares.
Which is how this whole myspace thing should be approached. Think of me as a largely unnecessary but recurring character on a television show that went into syndication ages ago and you never really watched it but somehow every episode seems familiar, and you kind of wondered what happened to him and you think you saw him once doing a commercial for one of those correspondence schools where you can get an associate degree in television and gun repair and you wonder if maybe you shouldn't have given that a try.
Don't worry. We'll get through this together...

My Interests

Music:

Currently overplaying: Iggy Pop, The Idiot

Movies:

Last Attempted to Watch: Manderlay.
Just knowing what Lars von Trier was about to do to these poor characters was enough to make me hit "STOP" and send that baby right back to Netflix.

Television:

is the devil's fishbowl and a poor substitute for a good fire (but easier to tend).

Books:

Just Finished: John Banville, The Untouchable.
Inching my way through: Gregoire Bouillier, The Mystery Guest
